Have you tried draining the water from the fuel filter housing. That's where the sensor is and the water won't come out by draining the tank.

Are you catching what comes out and checking to see if there's H2O in it after it settles? If there's H2O then I'd keep purging the filter bowl every so often. If there's no H2O then I'd suspect the WIF sensor. MHO.

How do you drain the water from the filter housing? My water in fuel light turned on today after pulling my 30ft livestock trailer today. 2001 5-speed 24v
